Developing high performance, low temperature sintering and temperature stable K40 material in Co2O3/Nb2O5-modified Ba3Ti4Nb4O21 microwave dielectric ceramics for 5G-LTCC communication devices
The comprehensive properties and sintering temperature of microwave dielectric ceramics are the key factors limiting their practical application. In this work, a novel strategy of complex (Co 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ ions substituted and adding glass (Li 2 O-B 2 O 3 - SiO 2 -CaO-Al 2 O 3 : LBSCA) was proposed to greatly enhance the microwave dielectric properties of Ba 3 Ti 4- x (Co 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) x Nb 4 O 21 (0 ≤ x ≤ 12 mol%, x CN-BTN) ceramics. A new ceramic of (Co 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ substitution improved hexagonal phase BTN was successfully fabricated and systematically investigated. As the increased of (Co 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ ions concentration, the Q× f was greatly increased because of higher packing fraction, and the reduction in the [Nb1/Ti1O 6 ] octahedral distortion caused great changes of τ f . Besides, the P-V-L theory revealed that the Ti/Nb ratio greatly contributed in permittivity ε r , and the Nb-O bonds mainly affected dielectric loss, especially in Nb(1)-O2(1) bond. As a result, the superior microwave dielectric properties were obtained in 6CN-BTN ceramic sintered at 950 °C: ε r ∼40.99 ± 0.48, Q× f ∼17,310 ± 565 GHz, and τ f ∼8.62 ± 4.34 ppm/°C. More encouragingly, 6CN-BTN showed good compatibility with silver, making it a promising K 40 LTCC material for filter and dielectric resonators . This study presented a new strategy to improve the properties of BTN-based materials by complex ions substitution, which was expected to provide a general approach for the design of advanced microwave dielectric ceramics for other material systems.
